Computer Implemented System and Method for Authenticating a Sender of Electronic Data to a Recipient

1. A system for authenticating a sender of electronic data to a recipient, comprising: a server computer having a processor programmed by software commands to receive electronic information from a sender, transmit a message to the sender asking the sender to confirm sending of the received electronic information, the message requesting confirmation of the sender's having transmitted electronic data, the message prompting the sender to visit a website associated with the server to provide indications of identity and confirmation of authorship of the transmitted electronic data and prompting the sender to input information as the indication of the sender's identity and authorship of the transmitted electronic data, receive a copy of the input information as a confirmation of the sender's having sent the received electronic information, record the input information as a combination of the sender's confirmation with a transmitted time, embed the confirmation of the sender's having sent the received electronic information, into the electronic information, and transmit the electronic information with the confirmation information embedded to a recipient.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further programmed to assign a code to the transmitted electronic information uniquely identifying the transmitted electronic information.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the code is embedded into the transmitted electronic information.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is programmed to embed a link to a website into the electronic information and transmit the electronic information, the confirmation and the link to the recipient.

5. A system for authenticating a sender of electronic data to a recipient, comprising: a server computer having a processor programmed by software commands to receive electronic information from a sender, transmit a message to the sender asking the sender to confirm identity and ownership of the received electronic information, the message requesting confirmation of the sender's identity and ownership of the transmitted electronic data, the message prompting the sender to visit a website associated with the server to provide indications of identity and confirmation of authorship of the transmitted electronic data, and prompting the sender to input information as the indication of the sender's identity and ownership of the transmitted electronic data, receive a copy of the input information as a confirmation of the sender's identity and ownership of the received electronic information from the sender authenticating the sender to the message, record the input information as a combination of the sender's confirmation with a transmitted time, embed the confirmation of the sender's identity and ownership of the transmitted electronic information, into the electronic information, and transmit the electronic information with the confirmation information embedded to a recipient.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the processor is further programmed to assign a code to the transmitted electronic information uniquely identifying the transmitted electronic information.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the code is embedded into the transmitted electronic information.

8. The system of claim 5 , wherein the processor is programmed to embed a link to a website into the electronic information and transmit the electronic information, the confirmation and the link to the recipient.
